ASX 100 Cyber Health Check Report launched

First Published 20th April 2017

Sydney - The ASX 100 Cyber Health Check
Report has been launched at a ceremony in Sydney hosted by ASX
Chairman Rick Holliday and also featuring ASIC Commissioner
Cathie Armour.

The ASX 100 Cyber Health Check is the first attempt to gauge how
the boards of Australia's largest listed companies view and
manage their exposure to cyber risk. It is an industry-led
initiative that forms part of the Australian Government's Cyber
Security Strategy.

The report demonstrates a high level of risk awareness at the top
levels of corporate Australia and a commitment to take further
action. The report also provides a framework for all Australian
businesses to evaluate their own effectiveness in addressing
cyber risk and identifying opportunities to improve their cyber
resilience.

All of the top 100 listed companies in Australia were invited to
participate in the ASX 100 Cyber Health Check on a voluntary
basis. Responses were received from 76 companies. The survey was
conducted between November 2016 and January 2017.
